Coming August 28 from LRG Games, Skybound‘s Invincible, The Walking Dead, Birthright, and Excellence are coming to decks and tabletop with the OverPower TCG: Skybound set. It’s the biggest set the company has shipped since bringing OverPower back, and the first time the 30-year-old game has had a wide retail push since the original Marvel/DC era ended. 

Skybound brings 36 new playable characters into the Modern format and slots in cleanly alongside Legacy decks for players who’ve been around since the beginning. As with every OverPower release, the cards are full-art from household names including Jae Lee, Joe Jusko, Marc Silvestri, Philip Tan, and Adam Kubert.

Marking OverPower’s widest retail release in over 30 years, this set will be available at local gaming and comic book stores in the US and Canada — as well as over 900 Best Buy and 1800 GameStop locations nationwide. The game saw a pre-release reveal during San Diego Comic-Con and Gen Con earlier this summer.

LRG Games is putting Invincible and The Walking Dead into players’ hands this fall as OverPower TCG: Skybound lands at comic shops and game stores nationwide. It’s the biggest set the company has shipped since bringing OverPower back, and the first time the 30-year-old game has had a wide retail push since the original Marvel/DC era ended.

Skybound brings 36 new playable characters into the Modern format and slots in cleanly alongside Legacy decks for players who’ve been around since the beginning. Birthright and Excellence characters round out the set. As with every OverPower release, the cards are full-art from household names including Jae Lee, Joe Jusko, Marc Silvestri, Philip Tan, and Adam Kubert.

Marking OverPower’s widest retail release in over 30 years, this set will be available at local gaming and comic book stores in the US and Canada — as well as over 900 Best Buy and 1800 GameStop locations nationwide. Local game stores will have retail event support starting with the Top Cow release.

Booster displays, starter deck displays, and Power Card Stations are available for preorder now ahead of the August 28 street date.

This is the set we’ve wanted to make since we bought the company. OverPower’s whole thing is that you’re not watching the fight, you’re in it. Pair that with Invincible and Walking Dead, where the fans already know exactly what it feels like to be inside those stories. This IP was a no brainer.

Mark Waid and Chris Samnee team for More of Year One of Batman and Robin

Posted on by

DC has announced Batman & Robin: Year One – Dynamic Duos, a new 12-issue monthly comic book series from the award-winning team of Mark Waid and Chris Samnee, launching August 12, 2026. Following their acclaimed Batman & Robin: Year One, Waid and Samnee continue exploring the formative partnership between Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson that was introduced in Year One in a new story that blends heart, humor, and high-stakes capes-and-tights fun while charting new territory for the early Dynamic Duo.

Batman and Robin are back in action! The Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder have been hard at work cleaning up the streets of Gotham City, and their partnership has only gotten tighter. But when a gang of street kids starts causing chaos, Batman and Robin will need to get to the bottom of where these kids came from and who is in charge! Who is the hidden hand guiding these young mischief-makers?

With Waid and Samnee co-writing the series, interior art and the main cover by Samnee, color by Mat Lopes, and lettering by Clayton Cowles, Dynamic Duos continues the creative momentum that made the first 12 issues of Batman & Robin: Year One an instant fan favorite and landed Eisner Award nominations for Samnee, Lopes, and Cowles. The launch issue of Batman & Robin: Year One – Dynamic Duos will also feature variant covers by Marc Silvestri, Dustin Nguyen, and Hayden Sherman, while Greg Capullo provides a Dark Knight Returns 40th anniversary variant cover.

Batman & Robin: Year One – Dynamic Duos #1 arrives in local comic book shops on August 12, 2026, retailing $4.99 US for the main cover and $5.99 US for card stock variant covers, and marks the beginning of the next chapter in Waid and Samnee’s definitive take on the early days of DC’s most iconic crime-fighting duo. The first twelve Batman & Robin: Year One issues are available wherever books are sold in both hardcover ($39.99 US) and softcover ($29.99 US) editions.

In a world consumed by shadows… one man becomes The Darkness. Jackie Estacado is back! Thrust into a supernatural war between the dark and the light in a no-holds-barred adventure where the edge of our reality grinds against supernatural forces grappling for control over each other and the waking world.

Mafia Hitman Jackie Estacado was both blessed and cursed on his 21st birthday when he became the bearer of The Darkness, an elemental force that allows those who wield it access to an otherworldly dimension and control over the demons who dwell there. Forces in the world rise up to face Jackie and the evil his gift represents. There is one small problem in this story…evil is good.

From co-creator Marc Silvestri (The Darkness, Cyber Force, Batman and the Joker: The Deadly Duo) with the universe-shattering first issue art by Ed Benes (Birds of Prey, Superman, Justice League of America) , followed in issue #2 with ongoing series artist Raymond Gay (Gunsligner Spawn, Bloodletter, TMNT, Medieval Spawn ), comes an explosive new era of The Darkness!
